General Ye's Mansion
The uninvited group of guests finally arrived at the mansion. The God of Destruction, Hei Anjing, who is also known as Madam Ye, was happily enjoying himself in the side pool garden. Warden Yun Ming was told to join the little rmaids at the pool and protect them.
Thus, in the intruders' eyes, the only ones at the general's mansion aside from the guards and the little rmaid are Madam Ye. When they saw a lone figure by the poolside, they believed that this was none other than the rumored Madam Ye.
They weren't surprised to see that the said Madam Ye was a man based on his figure alone. But it was a bit weird to see a man with long silver hair braided like a girl's hair. It was not until they saw the appearance of Madam Ye that they understood why a man will have long hair that is not only silver in color but also braided like a girl. This man is simply too beautiful, and he doesn't look human at all.
But after taking a while to recover from their dazed state, the faces of the intruders turned bloodless when they recognized who this man was. It's unsure whether this man is the mysterious Madam Ye, but they know him for another reason. There are only five powerful warriors that co over to kidnap Madam Ye; normally, if they are only coming over to capture an ordinary person, five is enough.
However, to capture this beautiful man with only five people, even if there are a hundred, would never be enough. After all, this is the King of all rmaids. A powerful being that no one had dared to capture before.
The rmaid King had spoken, "I have been waiting for you to arrive. Did you co over to pick up?"
The five warriors tried to back away. But the mont they felt a cold breeze blocking the path behind them, they no longer dared to take even one single step backward. The leader, among the five, spoke up and responded to the words of the rmaid king.
He said, "Your Majesty, the king of rmaids. We definitely didn't co here for you. We are here for soone else!"
His other subordinates added, "That's right. We ca here to capture Madam Ye!"
"By no ans that we are here to find your majesty!"
"It's the Shaka Clan who hired us to do so!"
"Please spare us, Your Majesty!"
Seeing the five n begging for their lives, the playful smile on Hei Anjing's face widens, leaving the five n bewildered.
The rmaid king said, "I am Madam Ye though~"
The mont these words were spoken and heard by the five intruders, they split up with terrified expressions on their faces. They tried to run away by splitting the group. What they didn't know was that the God of Destruction had placed a barrier around the mansion, and even those guards at the gate would not be able to hear anything that was happening in the mansion's area.
"SPLIT!"
Hei Anjing didn't stop the five who ran away from him and calmly drank his tea. Warden Yun Ming appeared from the pool and materialized in his human form. Despite coming out of the pool, his clothes and hair are dry. His main elent is water, after all. He can just remove water from his body or prevent himself from getting wet.
Yun Ming spoke, "Master."
"I will leave the cleaning up to you, Ming'er," said the God of Destruction. The mont he placed his cup down, he disappeared on the spot. Obviously, coming over for those intruders who run away from him.

Sowhere, in the general's mansion.
One of the intruders heads towards the gates, intending to leave the general's mansion as soon as he can. He no longer feared the soldiers guarding the gates. After all, compared to the ruthless King of rmaids, these soldiers seem to be more rciful. A joyous expression appeared on his face when he saw the soldiers by the gates and was about to approach them. Unfortunately, halfway towards the gates, he was blocked by an invisible wall.
BAM!
"Hah? N-No! This is... a wall? But there is nothing in front of ..."
The intruder reaches out his hand and touches sothing invisible before him. It felt like solid water, but it wasn't ice at all. Each hit causes ripples on the surface of the invisible barrier. He tried hitting the unknown wall, but regardless of how much strength he used, there was no effect at all. The man was finally terrified and started shouting. Even so, his actions are futile, as because of the barrier, no one can hear his screams. No matter how much he screams until his voice turns hoarse, no one hears his pleas. The world in the mansion and the one beyond the barrier are like completely different worlds.
"N-No… Save ! I'm here! I am an intruder! Catch please!!"
However, a sudden pair of hands held his head, and that person's voice lingered near his ears. As if he were running for his life and was found by the being you were chasing after him like a prey.
"I found you~"
Crack!
The next mont his next was twisted in an unbelievable angle and died on the spot. The God of Destruction wearing a mischievous smile appeared behind him. As the lifeless body fell to the ground, this playful person started humming. As if he wasn't the one who was killed just now.
Humming~
"Kago kago~ Kago no naka no tori wa. Itsu itsu deyaru. Yoake no ban ni. Tsuru to aka ga subeta. Ushiro no shoun daare?"
Translation: [Caged bird, caged bird~. The bird in the basket/cage, when, oh, when will it co out? On the night of dawn. The crane and turtle slipped. Who is behind you now?]
The mischievous god was singing a children's hymn while looking for his prey as if playing with them. In reality, in the eyes of the God of Destruction, the intruders were nothing but playmates to entertain them. He never treated them as sothing that could harm him but rely toys he could use to pass the ti. With one of the intruders found and killed, there are only four more left.
In the empty, huge mansion of the general. Four n were struggling to hide and escape from the rciless man chasing after them. All four of them witnessed the death of the youngest in their group. They knew that it was impossible to escape the mansion and didn't head to the gates like that last one. Who would have thought that the youngest would head to the gates directly and leave himself open? With his location exposed, he was caught by the rmaid king as expected. He was killed on the spot.
The person who had just been killed was even singing as he was looking for them. None of the four acted foolishly like the first one. They hide themselves well in the mansion, waiting for an opportunity to kill the creepy Madam Yes, who is supposed to be their target. Hei Anjing finally entered the mansion, hunting the four who had gone into hiding ahead of ti. The God of Destruction enjoys playing hide and seek with his prey.
"Kago kago~ Kago no naka no tori wa. Itsu itsu deyaru. Yoake no ban ni. Tsuru to aka ga subeta. Ushiro no shoun daare?"
The creepy song echoes in the empty hallway, making those who are hiding feel their heart race under such an ominous song. In the end, one of the intruders hiding at the ceiling chooses to sneak attack as Hei Anjing passes at the part of the corridor he is hiding.
His thoughts as he jumps towards the rmaid king while holding an energy knife in his hand: 'Die, you damn monster!'
However, a few inches before he can move his hand, Hei Anjing turns around, smiling at him.
"Oh my, what a giant bug!"
With a faster speed and movent, before the intruder can make his move, his line of sight suddenly changes. His head tilted and was falling slowly until he was looking up at the Hei Anjing, smiling at him with his face covered in blood.
He said, "Three more to go~"
The three who could feel that they were now one less compared to before were now covered in cold sweats. The group had a way to communicate with the others.
In their communication platform,
"Leader, what should we do? Five and three are both dead."
The leader said, "Don't give up! The barrier around the mansion would not last that long. Hide and don't get captured."

"But... we can't just keep hiding. There is no way he couldn't find us where we are hidden."
"It's alright. Move vigilantly and change places at random tis. The Shaka Clan had sent us to our deaths!" said the leader in anger.
"Who would have expected that the mysterious Madam Ye is none other than the rmaid King?"
"When the barrier disappears, imdiately run towards the gate and don't look back. One must at least return and complete the mission. Don't forget our family is still in the Shaka Clan's hand," said the leader.
The three intruders freely converse without knowing that their whole conversation is heard by the predator waiting for them to move. Hei Anjing decided to give them a chance, though this chance is only for one person. However, whether their return will give them success or not is sothing only those who can reach the future would know.
